DANIEL W. SCHNEBBE, OF NEW YORK, N.

FOUNTAIN-PEN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 13, 1913.

Application filed March 4, 1912. Serial No. 681,476.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL W. SCHNEBBE,

. a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Brooklyn,in the county of Kings, city and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Fountain-Pens, of which thefollowing is a clear, full, and exact description.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved fountain penhaving a single barrel with two pens and pen stocks adapted to carrydifferent colored inks, and so constructed that either pen may be used.

In carrying out the invention, I make use of two separate reservoirswithin the pen case, which may be made of any non-flexible or flexiblematerial in accordance with whether the pen be an automatic filler or atube filler, and I provide in the pen casing two pens and two penstocks, each joined by a flexible tubing with one of the reservoirs.

I may connect the two pen stocks so that upon the projection of, onefrom the pen casing the other will be retracted, but such is notnecessary in all instances. 1

The scope of my invention will be pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a central sectional sideelevation of my improved device. Fig. 2 is a top plan of Fig. 1. Fig. 3is an enlarged central sectional view of the pen stocks and easing atthe right hand end of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an enlarged section on line 4-4Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a perspective View of pne of the pens, and pen stocks.Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 1 of a modified form of device,particularly adapted for' self-fillers.

As shown in the drawings: Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive: 1 is the pen casingprovided with filling screw caps 7 and 8, and with'a dividing wall 6 andan end wall'16 permanently located within the casing to divide the sameinto two chambers 4 and 5. At the open end of the pin casing 1 I provideslots 18, in which finger grip guide pieces 17 and stop pieces 19 may ereciprocated. They are secured to the pens 2 and 3 and the pen stocks 11and 12, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.

Flexible rubber tubes 9 and 10 serve to connect one end of each penstock with the chambers 4 and 5. A guard or strap 13 fastened to each ofthe reciprocating pen stocks and passing over a pulley 14 in a bracket15 serves to compel the retraction of one pen upon the projection of theother.

As shown in Fig. 6, in place of the chambers 4 and 5 provided with theirrigid walls and ink filling cap 7 and 8 I have shown flexible rubbertubing reservoirs 21-22 connected to the pens 25-25 by flexible ducts orconnections 26, the reservoirs 21-22 being within the casing 20, whichpen casing is provided with blades 23 and push buttons 24 so that ondepressing the buttonair will be expelled from the tube 22 or 23 and ifthe pen be inserted into ink the ink pen releasing the button willbedrawn up in the filling tube.

In Fig. 6 I have shown no automatic connection to compel the retractionof one pen upon the movement of the other, though the omission or use ofthis device is not of importance to any of the modifications shown inthis case.

I claim as my invention:

1. A fountain pen consisting of a casing, an ink reservoir within saidcasing, a pen carried by said casing and movable longitudinally thereof,and a flexible duct connecting said reservoir and said pen.

2. A fountain pen consisting of a casing, an ink reservoir within saidcasing, a pen carried by said casing and movable lon 'tudinally thereof,and a flexible rubber tu ing connecting said duct and said pen.

3. A fountain pen comprising a casing,

a plurality of ink reservoirs within said casing, a plurality of penscarried by said casing, adapted for movement longitudinally thereof, andmeans connecting said pens adapted to move one of said ens into saidcasing when the other of sai pens is moved to project beyond saidcasing.
